Iranian Policy on Citizens Returning Home
I had told him, and it was decided that we would write a letter to him.
I also told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our own guys that, look,
give orders to our security systems that any Iranian who wants to come to Iran
should no longer face any problems.
Unless someone got a visa, came in, and had an issue,
they should tell them to go back from there, rather than arresting and keeping them here.
In this city, anyone who can come to Iran should be able to come easily,
they shouldn't arrest him in Iran or cause any problems for him,
and this was approved; it was supposed to continue so we could do this.
Every Iranian living abroad can come; this is their home,
they can easily leave, and we shouldn't create obstacles for them.
If we are going to create obstacles, we should say from the start, "Don't come."
If they come, we should say, "Go back. If you stay, we will arrest you."
Not that they come here, we arrest them, and don't let them go back. That's unfair.
If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't confirm it.
The Leader isn't the type to do something just for us, for example.

Original transcript (Persian)
به ایشون گفته بودم، قرار شد ما یه نامه خدمت ایشون بنویسیم. من به وزارت خارجه هم گفتم و بچه های خودمونم گفتم که آقا دستور بده به سیستم های امنیتی ما، هر ایرانی خواست بیاد ایران دیگه براش مشکل ایجاد نکنن. مگر اینکه اگر کسی ویزا گرفت اومد داخل مشکل داشت
از همونجا بگن برگردن که اینجا بگیرن وشی نگرش دارن. در این شهر هر که بتونه بیاد ایران راحت بتونه بیاد تو ایران اونو نگیرن، براش مشکل ایجاد نکنن و این تعیید شده بود، قرار بود تا آخرم ادامه پیدا کنن بتونیم این کارو بکنیم. هر ایرانی که در خارج زندگی میکنه، اینجا خونه خودشه میتونه بیاد،
میتونه راحت بره و ما نباید براش مانعه ایجاد کنیم. اگر قرار مانعه ایجاد کنیم، از اول بگیرم نیا. اگر اومد، بگیرم آقا برگرد. بمونیم میگیریم تو رو. نه این که بیاد اینجا بگیریم و نظریم برگرده. نامردیه. ایشون اگه باور نداشته باشه که تحید نمیکنه.
رحبری اینجوری نیست که مثلا بخاطر ما بخواد یک کاری رو بکنه.
